Joyce Manors stance on stage diving was made clear last week at two different shows. The first, in Jacksonville, FL - where frontman Barry Johnson stopped mid-song to bring the stage-dive offender onstage -- and then on Friday in Houson, TX Johnson reportedly stated at the beginning of the show that they would not tolerate any stage dives, when a fan did stage dive, he called them out. The INTERNET has a lot of opinions about stage diving. The annual hardcore festival This is Hardcore trolled with a shirt design and then later posted Joyce Manor jokes arent funny anymore. In contrast, Joyce Manor has gotten support from various other bands including Candy Hearts, Balance and Composure and Code Orange (see below). Johnson has also apologized for his reaction at Fridays show on the bands Facebook page stating: I wasnt able to watch people being hurt so I asked people not to act in the way that was hurting people. If that means you dont support the band, I respect that. If you dont want to attend the shows, we respect that. If youve bought a ticket to the show and want your money back because you want that to be your experience, we will refund you. I dont have an issue with anyones lifestyle. I apologize to losing my cool in Houston. I saw someone whose full intention was to harm people and was upset. I look forward to playing music in a safe environment for everyone from here on out.
